Hello friends! My county is one of the counties on lock down! This gives me plenty of time to assist YOU! Today I wanted to share a new word we've been hearing a lot. Epidemiologist is our word of the month! Do you know what an epidemiologist does? "Epidemiologists are public health professionals who investigate patterns and causes of disease and injury in humans. They seek to reduce the risk and occurrence of negative health outcomes through research, community education and health policy." That definition is from the bureau of labor and statistics. From Wikipedia, "Epidemiology is the study and analysis of the distribution, patterns and determinants of health and disease conditions in defined populations. It is a cornerstone of public health, and shapes policy decisions and evidence-based practice by identifying risk factors for disease and targets for preventive healthcare."

 

I had to go to the doctor because allergies have exacerbated my asthma and they gave me one of the medical masks to wear in case I am a carrier of the COVID-19 virus since I had a nasty cough. This is a unique time for ALL of us. I'm happy to have you guys to communicate with. I love reading and seeing your responses, keep 'em coming! How are YOU doing?
